Meeting Notice Will be Emailed to Members
As per the decision at a recent General Meeting, the board will in future send out agendas and other communications to your email address rather than by post. The purpose of this change is to reduce postage costs and to enable the board to communicate with members more effectively.
Important – You can Opt Out if you do not wish to receive meeting notices via email:
If you wish to continue receiving agenda mailouts via post rather than email, please let the board know, otherwise future meeting notices will go to your email address.Note: If we do not have your email address, you will continue to receive correspondence via post.
We have recently posted each member a letter explaining this and checking with you that the email address we have for you is correct.
Access Agenda Via Website:
In future Agenda’s will also be posted on the website within the required notice period. All members who have a website account are able to access the agenda on the website by logging in and going to the member’s library section. If you would like instructions on how to access the website, or if you currently don’t have a website account but would like one, please get in touch with us by emailing info@nmbngee.org (or call Max).The current agenda can be downloaded here: https://nmbngee.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/20171007-SGM-Agenda.pdf

If you are a Nmbngee shareholder, you are entitled to post stories on the website and also access the private members library where you can access minutes of current and past meetings, download a copy of the Nmbngee Rules and a lot of other useful Nmbngee related information.
You can also create For Sale or For Rent posts on the website if you wish to advertise your house for sale or rent.
To get access to all these features you need a user account, which you then use to login. Most shareholders have login accounts. The only one’s who don’t are those who haven’t yet provided their email address to the Board.

School Bus Run Alternative Route
Blue knob – Lillian Rock Road – Murwillumbah Kyogle Road – Stoney Chute Road: Gosels Bus service alternative route information.
Nimbin Central School is open.
I have been in contact with Gosels bus service re getting the students who normally travel down Lillian Rock road and along Blue Knob road to school. For those on this (north) side of the road damage (5km’s north of Nimbin), they will pick students up at Blue Knob Hall at 8:10am. They will then travel up Lillian Rock road and along the Murwillumbah Kyogle road, (Barkers Vale) down Stoney Chute road and into Nimbin Central School. They can take any students along the way.
Please let everyone know.

Road Status and Warnings
WARNING!
Be careful o
n Barter’s Hill (the first one, going down coming in). A land slip has taken out the verge on the outside edge and I wouldn’t drive to close to the edge there, it doesn’t look too secure.The condition of Gabal Road from the Front Gate to the bottom of the hill is good as it has recently (after the rains) been graded, so you can keep well left when heading up the hill. Remember to give anyone coming down lot’s of room.
2WD Access Restored
The roads have just had a touch up courtesy Aaron, Chris and Ross. The culvert at the front creek is in good condition and the road in from about Greg’s up to the Dairy triangle has had gravel added and been graded, so roads are passable even by low riding 2wd vehicles. (maybe not TOO low riding – don’t bring your show car in).

AGM Postponed
Hi fellow Nmbngeeians!
I have sad news and happy news to deliver. The sad news first: I’m sure you will be crestfallen to know there will be no meeting this weekend. Due to unpredictability of weather and road traversability, we are postponing the meeting for two weeks. We will confirm the exact date of the AGM via text or email, but it is likely to be Saturday two weeks from now. UPDATE: The postponed AGM will be on 22nd April, 10am. Download AGM with new date..
Now for the good news! Everyone is safe and (relatively) dry! The creeks sprung up and separated the back from the front and the front from the outside world. Which left the community not much more isolated than usual, the way we like it. Roads in the area are in a sorry state, but once Murwillumbah and Lismore return to normal most roads will be traversable. If you are coming from Nimbin to Nmbngee, at the moment you will need to go via Stonychute Road, as the Pratts bridge (just before the peacock farm) is out. You can see the damage here Pratts Bridge Washed Away. It may be more than two weeks before the bridge is replaced, so keep that in mind when making your way to the farm in a couple of weeks time.
